Chapter 568: Chapter 383: Corpse Beast_2
The Queen of Insect Tans moved swiftly, and although it was huge, crossing dozens of kilometers took only minutes.
On this Fragment Continent, there were none of the mists that swirled on Earth, nothing to obstruct its sight and speed.
Su Han’s gaze swept over the ground below, the open land riddled with ravines, long cracks spreading like spider webs, appearing as ugly scars resembling centipedes.
Each crack was incredibly deep, dark and gloomy, as if leading to an endless abyss.
The ground lacked any living beings, no trees were visible, and even bones were incredibly rare.
The land where black and yellow met, crumbling rocks scattered about, this was all there was on this Fragment Continent—a dead land, a dead world.
Su Han’s heart was somber; this environment was far more terrifying than that so-called Domain of Death, covered by the shadows of civilization’s demise.
The Domain of Death of the Undead Race, at least, had undead that moved.
The mountains were pitch black, large black rocks composing the entire massif, jagged like swords, steep as blades.
No sooner had Su Han approached, than he saw a swarm of insects surrounding a valley, with blade insects pouring into it, the rumble of a fierce battle continuously emanating from within the valley.
“Are there living beings?”
Su Han’s eyes slightly narrowed as he controlled the Queen of Insect Tans to fly over and land at the edge of the valley, his gaze directed toward it.
His eyes moved slightly, fixed on a large grey figure within the valley.
There stood a monster, about five to six meters tall, with three twisted heads—one large and one small on its broad shoulders, both with fierce faces and bared fangs, and the third head embedded in its chest, grotesquely distorted, staring with six pairs of dark, terrifying eyes.
The monster’s broad back supported three arms; the one on its back was almost four meters long, bent and twisted like a hook.
Beneally it lay a pile of legs, or what could be called legs, but were indistinguishable, resembling a mass of writhing flesh.
The entire monster was enveloped in despair, its aura and spiritual energy heavy, its body not even entirely solid.
This feeling… it was like that of a deep diver.
Countless blade insects, under the command of the Mother Worm, attacked the monster as swarms of Su Han’s Angel Envoy Zerg filled the valley.
With the fury of a tsunami, the swarm surged forward, only to see the monster unleash a powerful attack that flung hundreds of blade insects in front of it.
The mountain trembled; black rocks fell in cascades—the monster was not weak.
Su Han’s eyes hardened, then he lifted a finger, and spiritual energy gathered at his hand, firing off like a beam of light in an instant.
Splt.
Though it was a casual strike, his fifth-order power still penetrated the unsuspecting monster.
The creature suddenly looked up, its hollow, dead gaze fixed on Su Han as blade insects tore at it. Then a surprising scene occurred.
The wound from Su Han’s attack was healing rapidly, the surrounding grey mist filling it in.
“What exactly is the relationship between this monster and the deep divers?”
Seeing the monster’s behavior, Su Han increasingly felt it was connected to the deep divers.
Under his command, the Queen of Insect Tans opened its wide mouth and fiercely launched a powerful shockwave straight at the monster’s chest.
Even though the monster seemed barely conscious, when confronted with such an attack, it still instinctively stopped dealing with the swarm and swung its arms, confronting the Queen of Insect Tans’s attack with dead, heavy spiritual energy.
A loud boom echoed as the monster was sent flying, its body severely damaged, embedded in black rocks.
It didn’t die, but with the help of the grey mist, it visibly healed its injuries.
However, Su Han didn’t give it any more chances.
The tentacles on the back of the Queen of Insect Tans shot out, instantly binding and completely suppressing it.
[Detected Fusion Fourth Order Superior Corpse Beast. Fuse?]
Corpse Beast—that was its name.
When the body of the Queen of Insect Tans made contact with them, a rich despair transmitted from it, not the despair of the Corpse Beasts, but that of the world itself.
Fusion
After pondering for a moment, Su Han initiated the fusion. The tentacles of the Queen of Insect Tans divided into countless fine filaments, beginning to slowly meld with the Corpse Beast.
A flash of light suddenly streaked across the Corpse Beast, golden and dazzling, like a crystal the size of a thumb.
This crystal fell from the body of the Corpse Beast, and the Queen’s tentacle immediately scooped it up and placed it in Su Han’s hand.
Will Crystals
Although it was just a first glance, Su Han immediately recognized what it was.
On it was contained the rules of the world and the unwillingness of a dying world, a tremendously vast energy, purer and more majestic than Spiritual Energy.
Even though it was only the size of a thumb, Su Han could feel his body’s longing for this Will Crystal.
“No wonder those Fifth-order Great Demons were so crazy, fighting fiercely.”
Seeing this object, he understood its allure for the first time.
He reached out to grasp it, the Spirit Meld Talent activated, and the Spirit Melding Vortex rapidly digested the Will Crystal at a rapid pace.
Vast energy surged into his body, soul, and spirit, much like a sapling being irrigated with nutrient solution, climbing up step by step, and his accumulation became deeper.
The soul of the Star Torch Tree at the center of his Sea of Consciousness was growing rapidly at this time.
In just over ten minutes of absorbing the Will Crystals, it had climbed directly from ten meters to fifteen meters.
The hidden strand of the world’s rules proved to be so effective.
Su Han opened his eyes, his face showing an expression of surprise, his strength had increased by at least ten percent.
“Continue searching for Will Crystals and world relics.”
The command was immediately relayed to each Angel Envoy Zerg, with the Zerg Legion searching and sweeping like locusts.
Indeed, their behavior was no different from that of locusts, with a multitude of Locust Bat Insects and Flying Dragon Insects taking to the skies, continuously expanding and exploring the periphery.
As time gradually passed, with the continuous expansion of the swarm, Su Han’s exploration range gradually moved into this Black Mountain range.
The second, third, fourth… Many Corpse Beasts were gradually discovered by the swarm.
This time, without Su Han having to act personally, a large number of Zerg swarmed up, Third Order, and even Fourth Order, began to strike and kill.
The Corpse Beasts, though possessing special powers, could not hold on for long under the assault of the Zerg tide, one after another being exhausted and then completely annihilated.
Each Corpse Beast, essentially an incarnation of the Will Crystals, also served as their guardians.
They were the resentments of this dying world, the last remnants of the world itself.
If it weren’t for Su Han and his team killing them, they could have become a part of the Great Blood Sea with its Devour, becoming those deep-sea creatures full of endless despair, death, and hatred.
But now, before they could become deep-sea creatures, Su Han used them as nutrients for his own growth.
After three days, a total of twenty Corpse Beasts were hunted, their carcasses all handed over to the Queen for Fusion and absorption.
The Will Crystals that fell were sent to Su Han’s side, continuously boosting his strength.
The soul of the Star Torch Tree grew from fifteen meters, continuously increasing to seventeen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty…
The twenty Will Crystals, large and small, as Su Han continuously strengthened, his demand increased, and the entire soul of the Star Torch Tree grew to about eighty-three meters before it gradually stopped growing.
Along with the continuous growth of the Star Torch Tree’s soul, Su Han’s own spiritual strength was also continuously improving, Spiritual Energy filled his body, bits of Rule Power began to integrate into his body, constructing his Sea of Consciousness, fortifying his Great Demon Space.
The continuous changes gradually converged, slightly elevating Su Han’s strength, gradually approaching Sixth Order.
“Just a little more, and I’ll be able to break through.”
